If you have "TurboBobs" Turbos... better check them out, The 15G's are 11G's!!!

I just spoke with the member (Leroy) on the other site and he tells me that he got these from turbo bob but that he had been told previously that they were 15G's. Well they are definitely not 15G's. They are 11G's.

That being said, I would suggest to anyone that got turbos from him to inspect them and see what you've got. Easiest way is to measure the compressor inlet.

Also as a little headsup, these were not balanced and he did not install the heat shields.

Here are some pics.

Correct me if I'd wrong the guy you are talking about is on the west coast. That turbo bob is not "turbobob". turbobob the guy that makes the maf translators is from MI and does quality work. I do not believe he makes turbos.

I just don't want someone confusing the person that is the topic of this thread.

I really feel for you guys, it seems there are a lot of crackhead turbo shops out there, its best to buy from someone with a good history of proven results.

I had bad issues with 3 sets of preowned turbos, so...I bought brand new 19T's from IPS

Hello everyone! guess who?! Just wanted to clarify a few things! I've been working with turbo bob, who has had his turbo shop for over 30 years now in the same location, and stand behind his work! First off, i've been getting real 15g and real 19t upgrades for everyone w/ complete rebuilds for a ridiculously low price, which is pretty much warrantied... However, I've been getting rebuilds done for people by bob as well. Leroy was an exception that wanted to rebuild his turbos (not upgrade) and was informed that the wheels that his turbos had were not 15gs! Therefore, they are not bob's 15g turbos!! I would have greatly appreciated you contacting me beforehand mr. verified seller, before any accusations are made in attempts to destroy turbo bob's reputation.... Turbo bob stand behind his work, and i know this through years of dealing with him!
Furthermore, turbo bob 15g owners..If any turbo would fail prematurely, please send them back! please call and notify me! if there is any questions or concerns, please pm me! I will be more than happy/willing to give you the confidence necessary. Also, this is not a high profit service (obviously)...it was originally intended for those that don't want to spend 2600 dollars on a turbos that are the exact same thing as turbo bob's. Please feel free to pm me (timp3kgt) on 3si.org and I'll be happy to answer any questions and give you a contact number! I don't come on this forum often, but perhaps I should. Thank you Michael for raising your concerns and contacting me directly! I hope this helps.
